Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
8 small flour or corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream (optional)
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken with teriyaki sauce. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble the tacos by placing sliced chicken on each tortilla, followed by shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and green onions.
Add Sauce: Drizzle with mayonnaise or sour cream mixed with lime juice, if desired. Top with fresh cilantro.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately while warm, with extra teriyaki sauce on the side if desired.
